49ers End Trent Williams’ Season Due to Lingering Ankle Injury
The All-Pro left tackle is placed on injured reserve after missing seven games, leaving San Francisco's offensive line depleted.
- Trent Williams, the 49ers' $82 million All-Pro left tackle, has been placed on injured reserve, officially ending his season.
- Williams has been dealing with a slow-healing ankle and heel injury sustained in November, which required consultations with multiple specialists.
- The 49ers are now without their top three left tackle options, including backup Jaylon Moore, who was also placed on injured reserve earlier this week.
- In response, the team signed offensive lineman Matt Hennessy to a two-year deal to bolster their depleted offensive line ahead of their final two games.
- Hennessy, a former Atlanta Falcons starter, brings experience and potential, though injuries have limited his recent playing time.
